Jefferson Avenue will serve as a four-lane, major classification roadway and is planned to handle the traffic circulation between the two cities.
The City requested Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program funding from the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) who administers the program. A total of $1,500,000 of TUMF funding was requested to support the completion of the project engineering; right of way coordination and acquisition; and construction. The approval of the TUMF agreement will secure the funding to be appropriated to CIP No. 8380.
